We finally got a sunny day! So rare for spring in Ohio. Consequently I got to do some more work on my product photos. Adam watched Jasmine for me while I dragged a box of jewelry, glassware and fabric out to the deck. The results were the best I've had so far! (It was fun too :)
On another subject, we took Jazzy to the playground today. It was the first time she's been since she could actually enjoy it. She was quite enchanted with the swings and also the slide. We determined that she will probably grow up to be a food critic since she went around tasting all the rocks she could find. One star will be equal to dirt and rocks, two stars equal worms etc. . .
Back to art. Adam recently started his first online comic, ReTale. The strip has been in his head for a long time but has been transferred to paper more recently. You can check it out at www.adambeutel.blogspot.com. I think it's pretty neat, but then I am somewhat biased. :)
Just one last note and I'll stop rambling. At the bottom of my blog you'll find a compilation of some favorites from fellow etsy sellers. I will be changing the featured items once a week, so please check out some of their work! Thanks for reading. I will update more often in the future, but for now I'm off to promote my store.
Well, this is my first post on my first blog so here goes. . . I am starting this blog to promote my website, www.erinbeutel.etsy.com, and to post cool pictures and random tidbits from my life! My goal right now is to announce that I am now doing custom wedding jewelry. The necklace featured here is one example of something I think would be pretty for a wedding. It was inspired by the porcelain focal beads which were scavenged off a garage sale find years ago! Pearls, of course are common, and some might say over-used, in wedding jewelry. I myself love the variety in color, shape, size and finish, especially pearls that don't have perfect surfaces. However jewelry for weddings should not be confined to conventional themes and materials. Why not use shell, coral and mother of pearl for a beach wedding? Or elegant jet black and gold for a formal evening event? As brides, we spend days, weeks, even years searching for the perfect dress; naturally our jewelry should be the perfect complement.
If you are interested in having jewelry designed for your wedding, email me at stjewelry@yahoo.com. If you purchase jewelry for your wedding party you will receive 20% off your bridal jewelry! (Accessories make a great bridesmaids gift that can be enjoyed for many years.)
So, that's it for my promo! I am a stay at home mom. I have a gorgeous little one year old named Jasmine and a great hubby. I thrive on all things creative, especially jewelry and photography.
Well, that's it for now. I'm off to have a snack and go to bed. More later!
